entered at the Tribunal de Premiere Instance of Paris. It bears the state of 1836 and is olographe, or written wholly with the testator's own hand. niece the Duchess de Dino is instituted his general legatee. It is sai•;l (for there are various versions) that he bequeathes to her his man'..ion in the Rue St. Florcntin and other property, which will render h,r very amiable daughter, now seventeen years of age, a grand parti. 'Valencay, which estate the Prince bought for a sum of 2,600,000 francs, many years ago, and which is now said to be worth 8,000,000, goes to the Duchess de Dino's son, the Duke de Valencay; but upon this property a sum of 800,000 froncs is secured to the Countess de Talleyrand (who was brought up and known in the Prince's family as Mademoiselle Charlotte) the wife of Count Alexander de Talley rand, now Minister Plenipob ntiary at Copenhagen. The Prince had secured long ago 500,000 francs to the Duchess d'Esclignac, the daughter of his brother Bount Bozan de Perigord. The Duchess and the Duke de Dino and Princess de Poix, both children of his other brother, the recently deceased Duke Archambrult, are his natural heirs. It would appear that the Prince's large income, into the ma nagement of which the Duchess de Dino had of late years introduced much more order than had ever distinguished her uncle's domestic economy included 100,000 francs which he had contrived to obtain from Louis Philippe as Grand Chamberlain, although that office has been abolished since the revolution of 1830. Such as may wonder at Louis Philippe have contintiedeto pay the salary need but be, rem i n d ed that the money annually voted for the secret police s :cmice is noto riously applied to many other purposes beSilieS the detection of plots against the State. To the aforementioned 'will is annexed a document, also in the Prince's hand-writing, wherein he enters into very curious explanations of the course pursued by him under the several Governments which have succeeded each other since 1789. In the same paper he formally prohibits his heirs from publishing his memoirs before thirty years have elapsed from the day of his demise, and he enjoins them to protest against the genuineness of any other memoirs that may appear under his name. The memoirs he has left are said to have been de posited in England, and it is the son of the Duke de Valencay who is to publish them at the appointed period. The protest which he orders hit heirs to enter against any other publication reminds me that twe, or three years ago the rumour was current of some member of his household having surreptitiously made and kept a copy of his memoirs. The Prince concludes the addition to the will by declaring that he dies in the Roman Catholic religion, and by ex.irressing the wish of being buried at Valencay. The Hotel de Talleyrand wean the avert of deep sorrow, for if the politician had many enemies, the 1 2 - .. mate man had not a few friends. Outside that mansion also seve:ai lament him, and none more than that excellent lady the Viscoun.tess de Laval, mother of the late Duke Ma_ thieu de Montmorency. It was at her house that M. de Talleyrand spent almost all his evenings. Their intimacy had resisted the most jarring political opinions, frequent discussions, and the lapse of above half a century. LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. (From N',:ve York Papers received of the Ist instant inclusive.) THE STEAM-SHIPS. The s'team.ships, having crossed the ocean with unprecedented dis patch, arrived at New York on the 23d, bringing with them the most irmfragable testimony of the practicability and usefulness of steam navi gation between the Old and New Worlds. The Sirius, a powerful and well.built vessel, of about 700 tons !Arden, commanded by Lieutenant Roberts, RN., left Cork on the 4th instant, and after encountering some very severe weather, arrived inside the Hook on Sunday evening the 22d inst. The took the ground there, but floated again with the rise of the tide, and came to anchor in the North River early in the morning of the 23d. The news spread like wild-fire through the city, and the river became literally dotted all over with boats conveying the curious to and from the stranger. There seemed to be an universal voice in congratulation, and every visage was illuminated with delight. A tacit conviction seemed to per vade every bosom that a most doubtful problem had been satis factorily solved ; visions of future advantage to science, to commerce, to moral philosophy, began to float before the " mind's eye ;" curiosity to travel through the old country, and to inspect ancient institutions, began to stimulate the inquiring; in short, there seemed to be a complete maze, a whirl of fancies and projects through the general mind; all were delighted, every one was a speaker, every Englishman we, giving vent to the proud emotions of his heart and calm reflection was for a time at an end. Whilst all this was going on, suddenly there was seen over Gover nor's Island a (lenge black cloud of smoke, spreading itself upward, and betokening another arrival. On it came with great rapidity, and about three o'clock in the afternoon its cause was fully manifest to the accu mulcted multitudes at the Battery. It was the steam ship Great Wes. tern, of about sixteen hundred tons burden, under the command of Lieutenant Hosken, R.N. She had left Bristol on the 7th instant, and on the 23d was making her triumphant entry into the port of New York. This immense moving mass was propelled at a rapist rate through the waters of the Bay, she passed swiftly and gracefully round the Sirius, exchanging salutes with her, and then proceeded to her destined anchorage in the East River. If the public mind was sti mulated by the arrival of the Sirius, it became almost intoxicated with delight upon view of the superb Great Western. The latter was only fourteen clear days out, and neither vessel had sustained a damage worlh mentioning, notwithstanding that both had to encounter very heavy weather ; nor had either vessel the necessity to suspend the action of its steam machinery, notwithstanding the long and heavy seas through which the vessels had to plod during the gales. The Sirius indeed, has but two masts, which may be designated fore and mizen masts. The Great Western, from its uncommon length, had necessarily four masts. TIM SIRIUS AND VIE AMERICAN INSTITIITE.—At nine o'clock 'yesterday, A.M., a delegation from the American Institute visited the Sirins, agreeably to arrangement, when Mr. George F. Hopkins, one of the vice-presidents, and Chairman of the delegation, addressed Captain Roberts as follows : " We are a Committee deputed from the American Institute—a Society whose object is the encouragement of enterprise, industry, and the useful arts. We desire to give you a cordial welcome to our country. We hail the eve::t of your arrival as one of peculiar impor tance. It is an era in na, 'gat ion, and we hope it will be the harbinger of the most beneficial consequences, both to England and the United States. W e trust you and your officers have experienced, and will continue to experience, al! the ho,pitality to which you have so fair a claim, and that you will leave our country under the most favourable impressions." To which Captain Ituberts replied, with that free and gentlemtw'7l spirit which characterises the officer and the man Gentlemen,—l am proud and happy to see you, ar"::. can say that the friendly welcome I h ave rece i ve d i n t hi s country - ,„oes tar beyond any expectation of mine. It will give me much l'l"Thsure to aid in forward. ing the objects of your institute, and, as '.. 'slope frequently to have the pleasure of being among you, will do everything in my power toward maintaining the friendly fec:ing save witnessed. America truly seems to me like home, except that. .1 have received in America even more evidences of good feelin, than at home. I everywhere meet with indi cations that we have the same blood running in our veins." After showing the de:egation everything interesting on board, particu larly the machinery, Captan Itol.erts presented them with several valu able papers relative to the sciences and the arts, and left them, on part ing, deeply impressed with their interesting visit. Th le British Consul, upon the arrival of the Sirius, sent the following characteristic letter to her commander : Her Majesty's Consulate, New York, 23d April, 1838. Sia—l have the h onour and happiness t o congratulate you on the ar rival of your steam-ship across the Atlantic, at a season when strong gales so generally prevail, thereby proving that British skill has accom plished a most important enterprise, which will produce such a revolu tion in commercial and social intercourse, as we cannot justly appre ciate. Permit me, Sir, to add, that I have, in common with my fellow_ subjects of her Majesty in this city, a farther cause for rejoicing in the fact that the honour of accomplishing the enterprise has been won by on officer of the British navy, and that it was completed on St. George's Day. —I have the honour to be, Sir, (Signed) Richard Roberts, Esq , Commander of the Bs itish steam-ship Sirius. The following he sent to the Corporation : Her Britannic Majesty's Consulate, New York, 23d Ap r il , 1838 . Sir—l have the hono ur to Inform you that the steam ship Sirius arrived last evening, and i s now at anchor in the North River. Should it meet the convenience of the Honourable the Corporation, I shall be at the City Hall on Tuesday, the 24th instant, at one o'clock, to attend the honourable body en board, in acr'ordance with their resolution, as marking the importance of that tvent—an event so calculated to pro mote the commercial interests, and draw closer the ties of friendly inter. course between England "and the United States. I have the honour to be, &c., &c., J. To Joseph Miele, BUCHANAN. e, Esq., Chai rman C ommittee of the Corp oration. Your humble servant, J. BUCHANAN. (From the New York Daily Whig of the Ist. inst.) DINNER TO LIEUTS. ROBERTS AND HOSKINT.—At two o'clock yester day, the Mayor, Corporation, and their guests left the City Hall for Peck Slip, where they embarked on board a steamer, and were conveyed to Blackwell's Island. Among the guests were the British Consul, Cap tains Roberts and Hoskin, Mr. Whittaker, of the Sirius, and several of the Great Western, whose names we not remember. After arriving at the Island, and viewing the works, about six o'clock the company sat down to a sumptuous dinner. The knives rattled, the champagne corks popped, the joke passed freely, and wit and good humour ruled the roast. His Honour the MAYOR (who was Chairman), commenced the toast ing, by giving the health of the President of the United States, which was drunk with three cheers. His Honour next proposed the hellth of Lieutenants Roberts and Hoskin. This was received with the heartiest cheering, and Lieut. Ro berti immediately r:,se, and responded in a neat and appropriate address. He handsomely , Icknowledged the kind reception he had met in this country. We regret that the late hour at which the Corporation saw proper to discharge us from Blackwell's Ish.nd, prevents our giving a full and par ticular account this morning; yet our friends may look out for it here. after, Several beautiful speeches were made by distinguished guests, and all highly complimentary to the gallant commanders of the Sirius and Western. The Mayor styled Capt. Roberts the Colu.nbus of steam. The health of the Queen of England was next drunk with most rap. tuous applause and deafening cheers. It will be seen that two present leave our shores this morning. We allude to Lieutenant Roberts and Mr. Whittaker, both of Si ring. They will return to England immediately, and be the first to carry back the tidings of the success of the great undertaking. We have received them with perfect enthusiasm. We rejoice at their success, for linked as the two countries are, we must consider that suc. cess as almost our own. We are conscious that the English Government will appreciate the triumph of Captain Roberts, as much as we do, and his gifted and liberal Queen will not forget either him, his officers or crew. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. MONDAY, APRIL 30, Six, P.M.—This has been foreign bill day for the packets which sail to-morrow. The business done in exchange on London has been very moderate, the demand generally much less than anticipated—the asking rate at opening by the leading drawers 7 per cent., which soon gave place to 61 per cent., at which the best bills to a salad extent were sold—the rate further declined to 61 and 6i per cent , at which price the leading houses were offering their bills on 'Change. Late in the afternoon we heard of sales at 6 per cent. of good bills. Bills on France opened at 5,321 a 5,35, and fell early to 5,37 i. SALES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE. -(THIS DAY.)

An extra by Express Mail, from the office of the Cincinnati Whig. fyrnishoi the following appalling particular,. It it dated Wednesday night, eight e. if. All comment is unnecessary. Th• details are heart rending indeed, and shocking to relate, the whole is attributed to impru dence and carelessness on the part of the captain. Our correspondent writes : " It becomes again our painful duty to record one of the most awful and destructive occurrences known in the terrible and fatal catalogue of steam-boat accidents. " This afternoon, about six o'clock, the new and elegant steam-boat, Moselle, Captain Perrin, left the wharf of this city (full of passengers) for Louisville and St Louis, and with a view of taking a family on board at Fulton, about a mile and a half above the quay, proceeded up the river, and made fast to ali mber raft for that purpose. Here the family were taken on board, and during the whole time of the detention the captain was holding on to all the steam he could create, with an intention of chewing off to the best advantage the great speed of the boat as she passed down the whole length of the city. The Moselle was a new brag boat, and had recently made several exceedingly quick trips to and from this place. Soon as the family were taken on from the raft, the boat shoved off, and at the very morni—' • boilers burst tier wheels made the first evolution her ”-'" ""n a most aw f u l an d as t oun di ng no t e, equa l to the most violent . clap of thunder. The explosion was destruttlVe and heart rending in the extreme, as we are assured by a gentleman who was stting on his horse on shore, waiting to see the boat start. Heads, limbs, bodies, and blood, were seen flying through the air in every direc tion, attended by the most horrible shrieks and groans from the wounded and the dying. The boat, at the moment of the accident, was about thirty feet from the shore, and was rendered a perfect wreck. She seemed to be torn all to finders as far back as the gentlemen's cabin, and her hurricane deck (the whole length) was entirely swept away. The boat immediately began to sink rapidly, and float (with a strong current) down the river, at the smie time getting farther from the shore. The captain was thrown by the explosion entirely into the street, and was picked up dead and dreadfully mangled. Another man was thrown entirely through the roof of one of the neighbouring houses, and limbs and fragments of bodies scattered about the river and shore in heart- rending profusion. Soon as the boat was discovered to be rapidly sinking, the passengers, who remained unhurt in the gentlemen's and ladies' cabins became panic-struck, and, with a fatuity unaccountable, jumped into the river. Being above the ordinary business parts of the city, there were no boats at hand except a few large and unmanageable wood flats, which were carried to the relief of the sufferers as soon as possible, by the few persons on the shore. Many were drowned, howe ver, before they could be rescued from a watery grave, and many stink who were not seen afterwards. We are told that one little boy on shore was seen wringing his hands in agony, imploring those present to save his father, mother, and three sisters, all of whom were struggling in the water to reach the shore, but whom the poor little fellow had the misfortune to see perish, one by one, almost within his reach. An infant child, belonging to this family, was picked up alive, floating down the river on the fragments of the hurri cane deck. Dr. Wilson Hughey, of the United States' Army, and brother-in-law to our estimable fellow.citizen, W. P. Hughey, ct the Pearl-street House, is doubtless among the slain, as he was known to have been cn board, and some pieces of the military coat he had on were picked up among the fragments. Mr. Powell, a highly respectable grocery merchant of Louisville, and brother.in.law of Mr. Wilson M`Grew, of this city, is also supposed to be lost, as he was on board, and no tidings have since been heard of him, notwithstanding the active inquiries of his friends. We are unable as yet to particularise any other persons lost, as the boat sunk in about fifteen minutes after the accident, leaving nothing to be seen but her chimneys and a small portion of her upper works, and also as a scene of distress and confusion immediately ensued that alto. gether baffles description. Most of the sufferers are among the hands of the boat and the steerage passengers. It is supposed that there were about two hundred persons on board, of which number only from fifty to sevcnty.five are believed to have escaped, making the estimated loss of lives about one hundred and twenty.. five! 0, tale of woe! The accident unquestionably occurred thr,ugh sheer imprudence and carelessness. The captain of the boat was desirous of showing off her great speed as she passed the city, and to overtake and pass another boat which had left the wharf for Louisville a short time before him. Dearly has he paid for his silly ambition. The clerk of the boat, we un derstand, escaped unhurt. These are all the particulars we have yet been able to learn. In to-morrow's Whig we shall, no doubt, be able the names of many others who have been lost or killed. THE CANADAS. (From the New York Courier of the 28th.) It is stated that all the prisoners under sentence of death at Toronto and Hamilton have been reprieved, except Theller. The Montreal Herald of the 24th inst. says— " There has been a serious disturbance at Brockville among the volun teers, and it is reported that an individual was killed in the affray. A company of the 83d regiment was dispatched en route to Brockville yes terday morning. " The affray commenced in consequence of an individual having ex. posed in his shop some caricatures of the officers and men recently dis banded, who in revenge broke his windows, and threw his goods into the street. The rifle corps was called out, and succeeded in restoring peace. " We have heard from an authentic source that martial law has already been, or soon will be, superseded by the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act over the whole province." The statement that the bodies of Lount and Matthews were denied to their -friends for interment is contradicted in the Hamillon Express. The report that a daughter of Mr. Lount had died of grief since his exe. cution is also contradicted. The Kingston Chronicle gives the result of the late elections fo r Members of the House of Assembly in the places of the exiles, and say s the new Members " are all good and true"—that is, high-toned Conser vatives, or Tories. A Mr. Dawson of Niagara has been arrested, it is said, at Lewiston, in this State, charged with having been one of the party that attacked the Caroline. One account says that he has been removed to Lockport, and another to Batavia. He came over, the Lewiston paper says, to get married, and was committed by the Jilstice before whom he went for the performance of the ceremony, LONDQN AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. The Directors and Proprietors of this important undertaking, pre paratory to its opening to the public this day, gave on Saturday a very handsome entertainment to between three and four hundred of their filend, of both sexes on Working-common, near Guildford (the point to which the railway is at present comple•ed). All the arrangements ware excellent; the weather was much more agreeable than it had been, owing to the cessation of the easterly winds, and nothing could have gene of better than the whole affair. As the conclusion of the kurney is upon an open healthy common, where pleasure parties may pitch their gipsy encampments, or wander far and near, enjoy ing the bright sun and the clear atmosphere, nothing beyond a cold collation could be expected, but what the season afforded was pro vlded, and we never saw claret and champagne in greater abundance. The Directors and their zealous Secretary gave a hearty welcome to the party in a very large marquee, to which several smaller tents were added, forming recesses like chapels in a Gothic cathedral, but all under one rneral roof. If theae had been a discontented person among the corn ! any, he must have been one of those resolutely dissatisfied individuals laughed at by the comic poet, " Who would not, if they could, be gay." , We have seldom seen a larger collection of cheerful faces, and those of the ladies, in the bright and varied costumes of the spring, were of course peculiarly attractive in their smiles. But we may be said to have arrived at the conclusion of our journey before we have, in fact, commenced it. The company were conveyed to Woking-Common by two long trains of open and inclosed carriages. \Vhether open or inclosed, it was impossible to exceed the comfort and facility of this mode of travelling. The only fault seems to be that the cushions are so soft, and the sense of motion, excepting from passing ob jects with great rapidity, so little felt, that sleep is almost invited, and the bland but fresh atmosphere, so different from the smoke and dulness of the metropolis, contributes not a little to the effect. The progress is more like flying than any thing else, for literally each passenger seems rather to float through the air than to have any connection with the earth. The smoothness of the passage is very remarkable, and whether from the excellent mode in which the rails have been laid down, or from any other cause with which we are not engineers enough to be ac quainted, we know not, but not the slightest jar, and scarcely the least undulation, is perceptible. Shakspeare talks of " shoeing a troop of horse with felt," and the effect of journeying on this railway is more like the running of wheels of ivory over velvet, than any thing else we can imagine. The first train started from the terminus near Vauxhill-bridge shortly before and the second shortly after one o'clock, but as it was material, with a view to the collation, that both parties should reach their destination at the same time, a short delay of the first train near 'Thames Ditton, in the midst of a delightful prospect, was of little consequence. In fact, all the way down the railway runs through a charming and richly diversified country—pasture and arable, woodland and lawn, chequered by hedge-rows of the liveliest green, and sprinkled, at different distances from the road, with farm-houses, villas, and more imposing residences in their park and pleasure-grounds. The myste fions progress of vegetation and the industrious pursuits of agrieulture can be watched with improvement during the whole way, and these new and cheap modes of conveyance into the country are likely ere long to remove much of the reproach under which the inhabitants of London generally labour, and which is conveyed in the single and distasteful word " cockneyism." The journey is divided by various stations, at Wandsworth, Wimble don, Kingston, Ditton, Esher, and, we believe, some others which have escaped our memory; and each was duly decorated for the occasion. Here, too, the rustic inhabitants of the vicinities were collected to greet the trains with hearty cheers as they passed ; but the engines and car ri.iges only stopped once on the way down to take water, which was a process of very brief duration. The entire distance, as our readers are probably aware, is abut 23 miles. Both parties entered the marquees at the same time, and in due order. It is said that at the Coronation Banquet of George IV., the only confu sion was occasioned by the eagerness of the Aldermen to get at the edibles; but if any disposition of the same kind, arising from appetite generated on the road, had existed at Woking, it would have been effec tually checked by the presence of ladies, themselves the models and the motives of decorum. The viands having been dispatched (at least as many of them as were needed, for much more had been provided than was necessary), and relished by a few glasses of French and Portuguese wines, thanks were moved to the Directors, as well as to Mr. Locke, the engineer, and to Mr. Reid, the Secretary of the Com pany, each returning thanks with becoming spirit and judicious brevity. Mr. M. Philips, M.P., in proposing the health of the ladies, made a few humourous allusions to his own delinquency as a bachelor, and pro mised " to repent and marry" (not to marry and repent) without delay. We hope that he will keep his word, for the sake of the " Lancashire witches." All this portion of the business was despatched with great hilarity, and, as we have mentioned, nothing but the most decorous cheerfulness prevailed throughout. All were mirthful, and none boisterous. The return to London was also by two distinct trains, and the dis tance was performed by the first train, in which we came, without the slightest impediment, and with perfect ease, in one hour, no stoppage being required for any purpose connected with the machinery, which appeared to work admirably. Perhaps no body, of three or four hun dred persons, ever enjoyed a pleasanter trip, or spent a more agree. able day. The railway, as we have said, is to be opened to the public this day, and trains will start at different convenient hours, passengers being conveyed to the terminus at Vauxhall by steam-boats from London. bridge, Hungerford.market, &c., as well as by omnibuses and other car riages. During the Epsom races additional trains will be employed, and carriages of all kinds will be provided at Surbiton.hill to take parties to the course, a distance of less than six miles. With regard to the completion of this great work, we understand that about forty miles from London will be finished on the Ist of September next, bringing the line within six miles of Basingstoke. At the other extremity the distance from Southampton to Winchester will be opened at the same rate, leaving only a comparatively short interval.

LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1838. The Irish Tithe Question seems to us in a position that should be delightful for the tithe-payers, and most sorrowful for the tithe-receivers. Each branch of the Legislature has in turn denounced the existing system ; so that it has completely lost the support of the moral sanction. It ought to be for ever extinguished, is the recorded declaration of both Houses of Parliament ; it is a blood-stained impost, say the people throughout the whole Empire. If opinion, which, before now, has laid empires prostrate, have not become powerless, it impos sisible that such a decried system can be continued. The levy of tithes has been successfully resisted ; and the inability of the Government to compel the people to pay tithes caused the unwilling Legislature to propose some score of measures to get rid of the system, and induced it to tax the whole Empire to support the Irish parsons. The fire-breathing Standard, and the trumpet-sounding Times, with the rest of the civil-war exciting Tory journals, pretend that the votes of Irish Catholic Members arc not valid on the question, and they indirectly call on the Members who represent Pro testant England to disregard the Catholic and Irish Members, and make of their own power a new coercive law to levy tithes in Ireland. If this be not what they aim at, we should like to be informed what they mean by stating that the late majority was formed of Irish Papists, and is, therefore, to be treated with contempt? But admitting that the majority of English Protestant Members—since, to give a correct idea of this religious quarrel we must use an epithet to designate one sect—are favourable to rescinding the appro priation resolution, another question must be answered in the affirmative before such a coercive law as would please the war like Tories, should it ever be carried, could be successful. Will the people of England and Scotland—will our Protestant Dissenters—will our merchants, manufacturers, and farmers, whatever may be their creed, now that the revenue is falling off, trade is stagnant, and agriculture not particularly flourish ing —allow even the Tory leaders to compel by force the Irish Catholics to pay tithe to the Protestant priesthood ? We be lieve they will no t ; an d we f urt h er b e lieve, that the Irish Catholics will again organize an extensive resistance to the payment of tithes, and again compel the Protestant parsons to have recourse to the Consolidated Fund. The English are unwilling to enforce the levy of tithes, in Ireland, at the point of the bayonet, and the majority of the people there being adverse to the payment, while the two parties in the legislature are so balanced, that neither can successfully carry any measure to settle the tithe question. The Tories will not allow the Whigs, and the Whigs will not allow the Tories, to pass a measure in the sense that either approves of. After attempting for six years to bring this question to a satisfactory end, it appears to us to be further from a legislative conclusion than ever. The people have demonstrated through those six years, that against their union the law is powerless, and as the parties in the Legislature will not allow the question to be settled, they plainly though tacitly refer it back to the people. The people know their strength ; and this reference makes us say that the question is in a delightful position for the tithe-payers. They must settle it, and if the Irish do not settle it after their own fashion, and to their own advantage, they will be much to blame. No reasonable being will say that they are to be perpetually the victims of a system which is universally condemned, because the factious Tories, inca pable themselves of passing a law to adjust the dispute, are re solved that their opponents shall not pass any such law. The Irish tithe-payers should rejoice at the factious obstinacy of the Tories, and should settle the matter as will best please themselves. The Tory journals are notorious for being unscrupulous in their assertions. One of them yesterday accounted for the deficiency of the revenue by saying that two millions sterling had been in the course of last year appropriated to the service of the Queen of SPAIN. What a pity this sagacious scribe did not supply his information to Lord .I{anoN two months ago, and then the Noble Lord would not, in the face of the House of Commons, have asserted that the expense of stores, &c.--all which we have supplied to Spain—through the whole contest, amounted only to 537,0001. The war has now been raging four yrars, and in that time we have ad vanced less than 200,0001. a year for the service of the Queen of SPAIN, or not one-tenth of the sum which the Tory journalist says has been expended during the last year. An account has just been published of all the naval slops and provisions supplied to the squadron under Lord JOHN HAY since 1834, and to the Spanish Govern ment and British Auxiliary Legion ; and the amount is— the Tories will say half a million-27,6001. for the whole four years. We are not the advocates of any unnecessary expendi ture ; but the may as well drop at once the favourite Tory slang of being a great and a mighty nation, if we cannot lend half a million to assist an ally. The aid is given to supp ort liberty. How many millions, we should like to know, did t h e Tories squander a er nd h to place Cossacks aceEuro pe ? under the hoof of the Empe ror of By the arrival of the steamer Sirius at Falmouth on Friday, at eight o'clock P. M., from New York, we have received a file of New York Journals to the evening of the Ist instant in clusive. The Sirius arrived safely at New York on the 23d ult.—just twelve hours before the Great Western, w hi c h we are happy to state sustained no injury during the voyage. So happy a solution of the grand problem of the power of steam filled the citizens of New York with inexp ress ib le delight. They assembled in thousands to hail w i t h joy ous greetings the mighty precursors of a new and b etter era in the world's history. By an impulse at on ce sudden, undefinable, and universal, the day was converted into a gene ral festival ; the cares of the present and the recollections of the past were lost in glorious dreams and prophecies of the fu ture. Captains ROBERTS and HOSKIN, of the Sirius and Great Western, were waited on by the Mayor and Corpora tion of New York, by whom they were sumptuously feasted, after receiving the most distinguished marks of Republican honour and esteem. When the health of Captain Ro- BE,RTs was drunk, that Gentleman, in a burst of ho- nest enthusiasm, eXclaiMen proudest man in the world I"—tin exclamation ..-- Gentlemen, I am the —bich was responded to with nine hearty rounds of appiaoqe. The &till!, sailed from Cork on the 4th Ultimo, and for five days she had not a glimpse of the sun. The raisage was very rough, but during the severest gales the passengers, even at table ; ekpe rienced no inconvenience of any kind. On leaving Cork, she took on board 453 tons of coals and fio barrels of rosin, of which 23 tons of the former and 15 barrels of the latter • • 4 remained when snO arri , !e.ti at New York. Fier ave rage rate of sailing was eight and a half miles an hour ; but bad the weather been favourable, the engineer was of opinion that she would have made from ten to twelve miles an hour—and even more--without difficulty. We proposed to have given here a description of the sensation created in New ?brk by the arrival of these magnificent steam vessels, extracted fidrit the New york daily journals, but ~ v;e find it more convenient to inelutle it among our extracts, under the head of American news, to wh:ch we have pleasure in referring our readers. As regards the officers and crews of the Sirius and Great Western, their extreme urbanity ha,; won for them a greater share of popular approbation than ever attended tn ,:ue cessful efforts of the Directors of any similar expedition. Every place of public amusement was thrown open to them free of any expense ; and after every form in which civility could manifest itself was exhausted, the Nuv York Daily Whig of the Ist inst. thus announced the departure of- the Sirius for London : The steam ship Sirius leaves us this day fur London, and she hears with her the heartfelt wishes of this great people, for her happy and safe arrival. Her captain and officers have won the respect and affec tion of the New Yorkers, and they will long be remembered with the warmest emotion. May they be greeted, on their arrival at their native shores, with all the enthusiasm with which England can receive her gal lant sons returning from a great achievement ; and may they come back to us with fresh assurances that the ties of brotherhood between Great Britain and the United States have been strengthened by the mu tual demonstrations of good feeling which the new era in commerce has awakened. On leaving the Harbour of New York Captain ROBERTS was saluted with seventeen guns—an honour in itself onpre cedented in the annals of the merchant service. Had thy! Sirius been twice as large, all her berths would have been occupied by the citizens of the New World—eager to avail themselves of their newly-discovered proximity to Europe. The New York Banks have resumed specie payments. This, by the other States, is called an experiment, but the Journals assure us that it has been, and will continue to be, attended with the happiest results. We have no very important news from the Canadas. The little there is will be found under the proper head in another part of The Sun. By the arrival of the Tagus steamer at Falmouth, on Saturday, we have received Lisbon Papers of the 15th inst. inclusive. Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN has put off his return to London for another week. Owing to the increased Tariff duties the trade of Lisbon was rapidly declining, The KING and QUEEN have, to the surprise of the Court, taken it into their heads to spend the three summer months at Cintra. Of political news, save the honour of disturbances at Goa, there is not a syllable in these journals. Th le Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all been received. They are filled with accounts of the death of Prince TALLEYRAND, which took place on Thursday evening —of which ample highly interesting details will be found in another part of The Sun. His deat: - I, as a political event, is no longer of importance to Europe. The Moniteur of Friday contains the follocsing telegraphic despatch : " TOULON, MAY 16, HALF-PAST I P.M. " ALGIERS, MAY 12, " MARSHAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WEE. " The Province of Algiers continues perfectly tranquil. Our establishment at Belida is becoming consolidated ; the Arabs have made no attempt against it, and they bring a regular supply of provisions to the markets established near our camp. The works of 'fortification are so far advanced as to afford shelter to our troops ; in a few days they will b e completed. The Beni-Salahs have submitted; the Hadjouts come to our markets, and a considerable number of Arabs, who had long since abandoned the plain, are returning to their douars, under the protection of our camps. " The strong and permanent manner in which we have every where taken possession of the country appears to have removed from their minds all uncertainty with regard to our intentions," We have advices from Madrid of the 12th inst. Mr. GEORGE BARNOW, whose incarceration for the sale of the New Testament in Spanish we noticed at some length last week, was liberated on the 11th. On the 10th General NARVAEZ arrived in Madrid by the command of the War Minister. The Government had ac cepted Brigadier FLINTER'S resignation, whom was also on his way from Truxillo to the Spanish capital. No affair of import ance had taken place in the Provinces.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY": TWELVE O'CLOCK. The anxiety and curiosity in general of the American merchants, and those connected with steam navigation, have at length been gratified by the arrival, at Falmouth, of the Sirius steamer, in 18 days, from New York, sailed on the Ist instant. The Great Western, which arrived on the same day at the above port, was not to leave for some days for England. Great joy was expressed by the inhabitants on their arrival. The information the Sirius brings from the United States, upon the whole, appears to be of a favourable nature. Some of the banks have resumed cash payments, and the Exchange was looking up on England, 6 34 premium. In Canada it appears that all was tranquil. We do not bear of any further executions of the rebels. Sutherland has been found guilty and transported for life. The Tagus steamer has arrived from Lisbon at Falmouth. The news she brings is not of much importance. All was quiet in the above capital. We have received Gibraltar papers to the 11th of May. They do not bring so late news from the theatre of war in Spain as previously received. An over -land dispatch has arived from India, but the papers and letters are not of a later slate than previously received. We have also received Malta papers to the 3d of May.

A meeting was held this day at the Crown and Anchor, pursuant to advertisement, for the purpose of addressing the Queen, and petitioning b: "h Houses of Parliament, for the postponement of the Coronation. It had been announced that Sir Francis Burdett would take the Chair at twelve o'clock, and at half-past that hour the numerous body of most respectable tradesmen Who were then assembled began to manifest great impatience at the non-appearatlCe of the proverbially late and uncertain Baronet. There were from 1,500 to 2,000 persons present, amongst whom was cne lady. As the time approa&ed to 1 o'clock, the discontent of the meeting was expressed in cries of" Chair," Tim'," "Old Glory," ,with the uual accompaniment of stamping on the floor, ,7 nd knocking with sticks upon the walls and sea t s . S evera l persons ca l led fo i some one else to take the chair, as Sir Francis Burdett was detaining them st; long. The uproar continued to increase until a few minutes be fore ono o'clock, when a glimpse of Sir Francis was caught, or supposed to be caught, by some persons near the end or the room, as he passed into the Committee; and the tumult of groans, hisses, cheers, clapping of hands, and yelling, beggered description. A soon as it had subsided, a group of persons near the platform sung, amidst excessive laughter, the fol. to —ing ditty : , ze was a man in Westminster, 'me aeo, A short - , • Oh ! he found out he And jump Jim Crow, ecse n rose in the middle of When it had passed one o'clock, a gentlem:- Burdett had disaps the room, stood up and moved that, as Sir Francis .. pointed that I age. and respectable body of tradesmen, who: time ought not to be trifled with, the meeting should adjourn to the let June: This motion was received with hisses and laughter. Mr. ISl`Caeon (of Lambeth) then moved, and Mr. VisceatT se conded, that Henry Hetherington should take the Chair. Upon a show of hands but one was raised against the motion, and there was an immediate rush to the platform, which was instantly filled, and a shout of cheers was raised throughout the room. Mr. 11‘Leon suggested that it would be better if the meeting waited a few minutes longer for Sir F. Burdett, who would arrive present.y, when the motion for substituting Mr. Hetherington as Chairman could be put more formally.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and " No, no," and cheers.) Sir FRANCIS BURDETT just then made his appearance in the room, anti was greeted with the most tumultuous din of hisses, groans, yelling, cheers, applause, and waving of hats. Sir Francis made his way with difficulty to the chair, in which he placed himself. The uproar sur passed anything we ever heard within these walls. Mr. M`Lcod, Mr. Vincent, and Mr. Cleave forsome time in vain en deavoured to quell the tumult and obtain a hearing for all who might wish to speak. As soon as there was some degree oforder, Mr. 111`Iseon begged leave to move that Mr. Henry Hetherington should take the chair instead of Sir Francis Burdett, because the prin ciples which the Hon. Baronet now professed were so utterly at variance with those which he had professed throughout the greater part of his life, that he was not a fit person to preside at that meeting. —(Cheers, hisses, and renewed uproar.) He said this in sorrow and regret, and not for the purpose of irritation or an ungenerous triumph. Let every man (exclaimed Mr. 111`Leod) have fair play—act like Englishmen ! I move that Mr. Hetherington do take the chair.—(lra mense uproar.) Mr. VINCENT seconded the motion, and put it to the meeting. The show of hands was greatly in its favour. Sir FRANCIS Buitinerr here got upon the table, but the moment he was perceived, was assailed by a burst of execrations, yells, groans, hisses, more violent and prolonged than we ever before heard, and the same tremendous uproar was renewed and continued, so long as the Hon. Baronet appeared upon the table. After for about five minutes in vain attempting to obtain a hearing, he got down amidst a long and loud shout of derision, and turned to consult with his friends around him. Mr. T. Dneici»the mounted on the table and after the cheering with which he was greeted had somewhat subsided, said, Gentlemen, I confess that at the present moment I do not know our precise si tuation.—(Renewed uproar.) But lam informed Sir F. Burdett has been moved to the chair—(Continued yells and groans.) To that an amendment has been moved that Mr. Hetherington take the chair.— (Greet cheering and interruption.) Gentleman, it is impossible for tile meeting to select two persons as their chairman.—(Continued disturb. ance.) Gentlemen, I came here having i . .eceiverl an invitation to attend for a purpose unconnected with party politics : of that we shall judge. —(lmmense cheers and uproar.) I came, gentlemen, own, to gratify my curiosity at seeing the old Member for Westrnin;!er — (A burst of yells and hisses)—meeting his old constituents witn:! , those walls which once resounded to the accents of high-spirited patriotism.—(Tremendous cheering and groans.) I wished to see how the honest Reformers of 'Westminster would remind him of former times—(Renewed interruption)—when he came forward to lend himself to a paltry Tory trick—(Great cheering, yelling, hissing, and groaning.)—under the pretence of postponing the Coronation—but in reality, it is a party stratagem of the Tories.—(Trememdous cheers and uproar.) The Tories, gentlemen, who, though with the name of Victoria on their lips, have engraver on their hearts the dark and des potic principles of Orangeism.—(lmmense uproar.) Mr. Duncombe concluded amidst a tumult of noises of every description, which drowned what he said. We understood him to recommend that Sir Francis Bur dett be allowed to take the chair—(Cries of " No, no," and conti nued uproar)—but adverse resolutions might be moved.—(Cheers, and Loud cries for Duncornbe to take the chair.) Mr. HETHERINGTON then got upon the table, and was received by his friends with much applause, but his appearance caused much uproar. He said he was very desirous for peace, and would tlo anything to pro. mote R. Ho hoped they would allow Sir F. Burdett to take the chair. —(Loud hissing,) The question was again put to the meeting as to who should take the chair, when the immense majority appeared i n favour of Mr. Hethering ton, who accordingly took the chair, amidst great confusion It was proposed by the friends of Sir Francis that he should go into another room, and preside over a meeting of their own, but the Honourable Baronet said he had come to preside over the meeting at the urgent request ef a number of the people of Westminster. He did not care whether he was in the Chair or not. Mr. VINCENT then got upon the table, and amidst great confusion said he was most anxious that every one, whether the friend of Sir F. Burdett or his own, should have fair play and have a hearing. The friends of Sir F. Burdett might make a noise, but they were determined to carry out their principles should they stop theme till to.morrow. Let them conduct their proceedings with decorum, and they would do credit to all present. He had risen for the purpose of proposing the first resolution, which he trusted would meet the approbation of every rational and intelligent man in that meeting.—(Cheers.) They were called together for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to postpone the Coronation, and it would be necessary to discuss that question in the first place.—(Hear.) They told the tradesmen and working classes that they were interested in an expensive Coronation; but he (Mr. Vincent) would tell them that they were mistaken. They were only attempting to delude the people. [A " turned coat," on a stick, was here held up in the centre of the meeting, and excited great laughter and cheering.] The resolution he had the honour to submit was one that claimed the especial attention of the meeting. It was as follows .—" Resolved, That in a country where millions of their fellow-tradesmen were known to be in a miserable and destitute condition, it would be disgraceful to the Government, and de. rogatory to the true dignity of this great nation to mock the misery of the people, and augment their burthens, by an extravagent expenditure of the public money upon a ceremony conferring no honour or power upon our youthful Queen. That this meeting emphati cally denounces the attempt now making by a plundering Tory faction, to postpone Her Majesty's Coronation, for the purpose of celebrating with increased splendour a ceremony it would be wiser to dispense with altogether than to expend on tinselled embroidery, to glut the vanity of imbecile aristocrats, while millions of the creators of wealth are badly housed and destitute of proper food and clothing."—(lramense cheering.) The resolution was one which he thought worthy of adoption by an intelligent and enlightened meeting. The people defied the faction and their r ower.—(Cheers.) New opi nions were abroad. The people were beginning to think and to act, and were resolved no longer to tolerate the arrogant pretensions of the aristocracy.—(Great cheering.) They wished that Governments should be tested by their utility—(Cheers)and they were of opinion that that Government which produced the greatest good to all classes of the people was the best. Was it the interest of the people to have a wasteful expenditure?—(No, no.) The men in this country who wished to live by their labour and fair trade, would never sanction the plundering of the people of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and the rest of the manufactur ing districts, to enrich a few who had already amassed sufficient property from the labour of others.—(Cheers.) The people would show them that they were about to commence a new era in this country, when the people would rise above the aristocracy.—(Cheers.) The proposition which he moved was, that it would not he wise to increase the expendi ture of the country. If they looked abroad over the surface of society, they would see plenty of suffering individuals who were far more worthy of consideration than all the aristocracies that ever cursed the world.- . w to turn about, &c. (Cheers.) It was said that if the money was spent in this country, the whole of the people would be benefited. But where would the money come from ?—(Cheers.) They forgot that all money resulted from the labour ofthe working classes, and that there could not be increased expendi ture without an increased taxation. They seemed to think that the people were wishful to plunge into an expensive system of Government when they were determined to have the cheapest and best Government they could.—(Loud Cheers.) Lord Londonderry said, if there was not an expensive Coronation, what would Marshal Soult, and the other Ambassadors think ?—(Loud and renewed laughter.) What did the people care for what Marshal Soult, or the murderer of Russia, or that swindler of the rights of nations, Louis Philippe, might think ? They only cared about themselves.—(A person in the crowd—" \\ hat. . . do we care what Mr. Vincent thinks about the Coronation ?") Nothing (said the speaker) as an individual. Let them take his opinion f.r what it was worth—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and cheers)—and he would say, though they might occasionally find two or three mustachioed dandies— (Loud cheers and roars of laughter, which followed this allusion to a person in the centre of the room, who had been making himself particularly active, prevented our hearing any fur_ ther remarks fora considerable time.) The parties who had got up the present meeting had come forward with liberty on their lips and de• ception in their hearts.—(Great cheering and confusion, amidst which Mr. Vincent concluded, but the noise that prevailed rendered i almost impossible to hear a single word he said.) Mr. CLE&vE then came forward, amid the greatest confusion and uproar. Those were the friends of the King of Hanover who did not wish to hear discussion—(Cheers)—but those who did were the friends of truth, humanity, and good government.—(Cheers.) He would hear Sir Francis Burdett, whom he actually worshipped in his childhood.— . . - (Great cheering.) He would show them up, as Jim Crow had been "wheeled about."—(Laughter.) He had been the object of his political worship for years, and he was sorry to see his grey hairs among them with disgrace. He should like that the persons who had called the present meeting should hear a word or two upon the subject.—(Cheers.) It was said that the meeting was not political ; if it was not so, let them address themselves to the object of it. What was that object? Why, to consider the propriety of the postpone ment of the Coronation. If Coronations were, as had been stated, for the benefit of trade, they ought to be met upon the present occasion to con. sider the propriety of holding them every six months.—(Cheers.) They ought to be considering the propriety of having coronations at Man chester, Leeds, Birmingham, and all the large towns in the king dom.—(Cheers.) Why should not Saw ney — (Laughter)—and John Bull have a share in the coronation ?_(Chetrs.) He thought the gen tlemen who had got up the preeent meeting had not considered the principle of robbing Peter to pay Paul.—(Cheers.) He was sure, after what Tory misrule had brought the country to, that a panacea of the description contemplated by the promoters of the meet- Noise, clamour, and hissing wo n' ti c ld ou n l o d t fboenovfaradnrhesecravuisceeTt(h(ehperecrig%)ess of truth, though silent, was powerful.—(Cheers.) He put it to the requisitionists whether noise would do any good. Let them look at exising facts. Let them look at the manufacturers of Glasgow and Spitalfields, and the suffering Irish—let them look at the distress that existed among the whole population of the country, and then let them consider if their object was encouraging trarle.—(Cheers.) The Marquis of Londonderry the other day stated that the coronation of George IV. increased the Excise 600,0001. If it did so, lie would ask how much demoralization it had occasioned. The increasing the expenses of the coronation only gave a profligate Minister more money to throw away. The Marquis of Londonderry at another meeting had thought it proper to bring proofs. with him to show that the Excise revenue had been increased to the amount of 600,000/. in the year of a former coronation, but did he con sider that it was wrung from an impoverished dissatisfied people.— (Cheers.) He would ask the requisitionists whether they were prepared for the sake of the trifling gratification of an increase in the receipt of their bills, to support additional taxation.--( Hear, hear.) They had their just quarrel with the Whigs —they did not come there to laud or eulogise the conduct of the Whigs ; but when they app.oached near to right the people would not get up and condemn them. They had had reason to condemn them, but when tbey had been condemned by the public voice it w as for their approaches to the blo ,, dy Tory faction.— (Cheers and Hiss es , an d cr i es o f " Off, off.") He hoped and trusted d they would hear Si r F ranc i s B urdett, end when the Hon. Ba ronet had finished his speech h e wou ld , no doubt, ex hibit J am es Craw, -En* to them.—(Laughter,) H e most cord i ally seconded the resolution.

He would read the resolution in order that before any one opposed it, they might all .7inderstand what the resolution was. The CitsinSlAN having read the resolution, called upon Mr. Pitt , wh° had an amendment to propose.—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. PITT did not conic forward as the advocate of those Clen tleinen wh o calledwo conic the meeting; tto cr e a t confusion, h fu e s v o a n. s_quite i little s a s s esand those n was not at all afraid of those persons, because although they had sotega to surround themselves with a phalanx of their own, yet he was glad see that a great majority there did not agree with them.—(Great p a o ll ss t i h t e le s: u : i a zhter.) He begged leave to tell them they should not carry aw 3 ', of the meeting with them.—(Renewed Laughter.) \ Va l because Sir F. Burdett had forgotten himself, they af and laughter.)
